The Reunion's Aftermath: UnOrdinary Arlo x John

Chapter 3

They woke-up in the afternoon, and thankfully, it was a mutual agreement to eat first before anything else.

There's a lot of nearby restaurants or eateries in the resort for them to choose from, but John just ended up choosing the farthest eatery from their room.

As if his body wasn't aching at all. The blond didn't bothered arguing with John, since he knew that scolding or talking some sense into him never ends well.

On the bright side, the food was delicious. They ordered a lot of seafoods-- fishes, crabs, and a lobster. Also, a small salad since the dark haired man appears to be maintaining his diet.

John seemed to enjoy the food, Arlo was certain that his eyes looked brighter than it did before, and he wasn't complaining the whole time, which the blond thought was good. If they're going to be hiding here for a week, it's the best to hear minimum complaints from John. It's best to keep him satisfied, otherwise, it'll be a headache.

Once they were done eating, the two of them returned to their room, not swimming or exploring the beach at all. John said that there's still a lot of time this week, and that the sun was almost gone since it was almost night when they finished their meal.

Unexpected to the blond, John brought his Laptop out, and Arlo could just stare at him in disbelief.

Of course, since they couldn't use their phones. John would bring his laptop. There's no signal here, but the dark haired man was smart enough to download some offline games.

Arlo haven't even thought of all of this. What would he do here then? Watch John all day? They only have to get tanned for a bit to make things believeable, but after that, what would Arlo do?

The most logical thing to do would be to enjoy the place, but Arlo was actually still a bit tired today from traveling, and the thought of leaving John alone on this room isn't desirable too. Who knows what runs on this man's mind? He might ended up causing trouble.

In the end, Arlo could just watch as John played games. He was just glancing at the screen, and thankfully, the dark haired man didn't mind.

John seemed to be playing a hero simulation game. He had his character looked like himself, and some of his-- or perhaps, their-- 'friends' also customized as heroes.

There was Seraphina, Cecile, Remi, Blyke, Isen, Elaine, and some of his old friends whom Arlo remembered as Adrion and Claire. There were other heroes too, in which Arlo assumed to be John's friends or acquaintances after Wellston. For John who acts like he disliked them, placing them on the game was quite unexpected.

He was also humming as he played the game, looking like he's in a good mood.

Arlo watched him do some quest, and save some non playable characters. He saw him equipping the other heroes he've made, and in the middle of it, the blond realized that he wasn't there on John's game.

Although it may just be a simple thing, Arlo would be lying if he said that it didn't bothered him.

Even after his realization, the blond didn't say anything, continuing to just watch John play. Arlo didn't felt bored because of it, watching him play was... Well, interesting. He was humming at first, but after some time, he had his brow furrowed while playing, gritting his teeth and sometimes biting his lips. He obviously wasn't mad-- but he looked like he is.

Sometimes, he even makes simple comments, and it always surprises the blond. He thought that John was attempting a conversation with him, and actually, he almost responded, but he realized that John's attention was just fixated on the game.

It took him hours playing, and the blond was growing tired of watching. Well, he was-- until he saw a customized character of himself on John's game.

Of course he wasn't made into a hero-- John made him into the final villain.
